Worst Commute Ever, Vegas Planning, 5.5 Miles

No crazy things today! Well… kind of a crazy thing. It took me 1 hour and 42 minutes to get to work today. I left my house at 7:30 a.m. which usually puts me at work at 8 a.m. Today, I got here at 9:12 a.m. Yes people – worst Atlanta traffic experience of my life on 400S!! I thought I was going to cry. Oh who am I kidding? I DID cry. Grrrr. So this shifted my whole day and made me late/behind for everything! I tried to get it all done though, had yogurt, muffin/cream cheese/granola bar for breakfast – and even got in 3.5 miles at lunch – woo! (burned 170 calories). Then I had 2 slices of my homemade veggie pizza, quickly followed by a pita/hummus snack – nom nom nom. Right before I left work I had 2 crackers with cheese, and then me and Stacy headed to the gym for a Harley Pasternak-inspired workout. We did 25 calf raises, 25 bicep curls, 25 overhead tricep extensions and repeated it 2 more times, then we walked 2 more miles! We were going to do C25k but I’m still freakishly sore!! Eek!

Me and Stacy also started planning the “non-work” part of our trip in Vegas...

We ordered tickets to see the Beatles Cirque show!! I’m TRES excited – woop woop! I’ve only see one show – the corteo show in Atlanta a few years ago. I was obsessed – SO amazing!! I can’t WAIIIIITTTT!

Now I’ve just finished up a plate of beef enchilada casserole – yum! I’m about to cook some meals for this week – I totally slacked on Sunday! I’m done eating… except for 2 dove milk chocolates I plan to have! Hehe So today is 1,636 calories, 218 carbs, 46 fat grams and 79 protein grams. Here’s what I ate today!

you are a machine! I seriously don't understand how you manage to do everything that you get done - I seriously need to get on the meal planning band wagon. It sucks that it took you so long to get to work, I always wondered what you "do"??

I love Vegas, and have been to countless Cirque shows, but never the Beatles one... I'm not a big Beatles fan. Let us know how it is! If you want a good restaurant, I love Little Buddas, but it's off the Strip @ the Palms. And you MUST get an In-N-Out burger!!! And... I'll stop now.

I have always wanted to see that show... but never enough money at the time when it was available. I can't wait to hear how it goes :-)BTW Atlanta traffic always has me scared when I go visit my friend in Alabama. I hate all the traffic!

I LOVE the Beatles and can't wait to hear how that goes! and agree on the ATL traffic. Every time I drive through there I consider just pulling over and staying in a hotel until late at night so the traffic will be gone! Ugh!

I am sooo glad I don't have to drive a commute to work.....that would bite. (I work from my home office and then travel to meet clients) I feel for you girl. Also gave you a shout out on today's updated blog post because YOU ROCK.

So excited that you're going to Vegas! As you saw on my blog, I loved LOVE!!! As for dinner recommendations....besides Circo (please order the spaghetti bologonese-it's called something else on the menu though but they'll know what you're talking about)....what kinds of restaurants are you looking for?

I tried watching Castle - it comes on too late (10) for me to commit to it long term. LOL

I totally watched Biggest Loser. Way too much blood-and-gore last night, imho! I have such a hard time watching eliminations this early in the season - because I'm not attached to anyone and don't really care who goes home.
